7-Elevens turn into 'Simpsons' Kwik-E-Marts

   

DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- Over the weekend, 7-Eleven Inc. turned a dozen stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of "The Simpsons" fame, in the latest example of marketers making life imitate art.

 

Those stores and most of the 6,000-plus other 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on television: Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees.

 

...

 

Saw this over the weekend.

All I have to say is LOL.

No Duff beer?

^Actually they are going to feature duff beer (or so I heard). Not sure what brand is doing that promotion.

They are trying to mimic qwik-e-marts down to the products so maybe we'll get some duff. :)

 

 

Products so far

 

Squishe's = Now with 900% more sugar

Krusty-Os = Comes with free minature razor discs. (in the cereal)

Buzz Cola = Featuring a caffiene induced seizure every 50th can

Duff Beer = Keep away from Barney

 

 

Exaggerating of course XD

 

I hope they have the frozen burritos !

wait, where did you guys see they were going to have duff beer? cause i'd be all over that! the article says no duff:

 

But they won't find Duff beer, the brand chugged by Homer Simpson. The movie will be rated PG-13, and selling a Simpson-themed beer "didn't seem to fit," said Rita Bargerhuff, a 7-Eleven marketing executive. "That was a tough call, but we want to make sure it's considered good, responsible fun."

 

my spouse said the ny kwik-e is on 23rd st so i'll get over there asap and grab a squishy and some pics!

 

Damn, my sources aren't very reliable!

Damn, my sources aren't very reliable!

 

I blame the Springfield paper.

 

Any paper with the 1st Page headline "Spinning Newspaper Injuries up 600%" probably isn't a good source.

 

*looks at own posts in thread*

 

Oh... oh.... so this is MY fault...!?

Whatever ><
